Uncle Sam's in a mess again
Got himself in a terrible jam
With a crazy Muslim named Saddam
So put down your bibles pick up your guns
We're gonna have a whole lot of FUN
And it's 1 2 3 what are we fighting for
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
I just know we gotta kill Saddam
And its 5 6 7 open up the pearly gates
Aint no time to wonder why
Big oil is startin to cry
Well come on all of you christian right
We all know you love a good fight
Now's your chance for a last crusade
The whole damn word has got to be saved
Just remember when your children all die
They'll be standing at the good Lord's side
Come on Dubya ,better move fast
Our gas is burnin and it won't last
Your daddy started but he couldn't finish
Now's your chance to make your own image
Aren't you glad you don't have sons
Cause were callin up the guard for this one

I wrote this "renovation" of Country Joes song about 4 months ago. Here it is:
Thirsty for Oil Rag
By Jason Berkowitz
(a modernization of Country Joe's Fixin' to Die Rag)
Now come on all you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
Got himself in the same old jam
Now we gotta get that ol' Saddam Snort up your coke
And pick up your gun
We're gonna have some Bush family fun
Chorus:
It's not '92 what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me why we must kill Saddam
Go ask the Exxon man
It's 2002 cover up the falling rates
We're not allowed to wonder why or whoopee! We're all gonna die
Who cares about Wall Street, so it's slow?
Come on use this war to forget, oh
There's plenty good money to be made
As long as you're in T.V. or the oil trade
Just hope and pray there's no Osama bomb or evil doers like Saddam
Repeat Chorus
Oh come on Dubya I know you're not fast
Daddy's presence, here at last!
Now you give power to the Feds
'Cuz the only good freedom is one that's dead
We all know peace isn't what you want
When you go off, bully, and taunt
Repeat chorus (2x)
Now come on snipers on Iraqi lands
Pack you bullets and shoot Saddam
Its cheaper for the United states
Just too bad they'll retaliate
Be the first one on your block to have your boy contracting smallpox!
This was written with the utmost respect for Country Joe, and absolutely no respect for our war-hawk leader who wasn't even legally elected.
